Almost to the half way point (pick #129/130)

An easy chair is placed on the stage, along with a mission-style end table.

A glass of water is placed on the table.

Another table is placed nearby, and a fern is placed atop it.

Garrison Keillor enters the stage and sits down. He offers a 30-minute monologue on how the NFL draft is much like growing a garden. He follows up with another 30-minute monologue about how football in small Minnesota towns was where friendships were forged and how it developed pluck and persistence among those whose natural gifts were not athleticism.

At this point everyone has dozed off, but one nodding sound technician recorded these words as Keillor was transitioning from a metaphor about tractors to an anecdote about seeing a moose while canoeing on a Minnesota lake.

"The Minnesota Vikings select Richard LeCounte III, S, Georgia."

Keillor sends a nice handwritten note on stationery paper to inform the next person that they're on the clock. Not one of those fancy digital clocks that has all of the functions, but a good cherry-burnished grandfather clock that sits by the stairs and stolidly chimes the passage of time.

Chargem sent me his pick

The Tennessee Titans select Milton Williams, DE/DT, Louisiana Tech

The Indianapolis Colts select Cade Johnson, WR, SDST

There are so many guys still left that I would love for KC...

The Steelers are still pretty pissed at the Patriots for drafting Trey Sermon. The Steelers though they would be able to get him here given the plethora of RBs still left on the board whom are generally rated higher by media sources. But, the Steelers should have known better, the Patriots have elite scouts and saw the exact same value in Sermon that our organization did. Accepting the reality of the situation, before moving on, the Steelers make a note to send glitter bombs to MahomesMagic and Bill Belichick next Christmas.

The Steelers still need a RB and are quite please to see other great options still available at pick #128...

The Pittsburgh Steelers select Kenneth Gainwell, RB, Memphis

PM has been sent to the Seahawks

MahomesMagic sent me his pick

The Seattle Seahawks select Elerson Smith, EDGE, Northern Iowa

ROFL

There are so many guys I like I wish I had 4 picks in the next 15.

Elerson Smith was near the top of my list though.
